Karl AtanasoffDee was always my favorite at Nafi's and I always tried to sit in her section. During my working years I also saw her at other restaurants all the time. Super nice lady and we always had allot of fun joking with each other. Towards the end of her career when her breathing became worse I was sad to see her leave. Wish there would have been a way to come in and say goodbye but Dee had other plans. I will always miss you, over the years you were a very SPECIAL person and waitress!!!! Now take a break wherever you are and let someone serve you it is your turn!!!!!
